HEC-RAS Training: Cruise

This intensive in-person training will instruct students on the use of HEC-RAS for two-dimensional hydraulic modeling. The course will include an overview of 2-D flow theory, RAS Mapper, and the differences between 1-D and 2-D modeling. The use of the model is taught through hands-on exercises and real-world project examples. Students should have an existing working knowledge of HEC-RAS. 

Topics

The seminar includes lectures on:

·         2D flow theory

·         RAS Mapper

·         2D model troubleshooting and calibration  

·         Two-dimensional flow analysis using the full Shallow Water Equations or Diffusion Wave equations in 2D.

·         Ability to perform a combination of 1D and 2D flow analysis in the same model.

·         The use of unstructured or structured computational meshes for the 2D flow areas.

·         2D Bridges

·         Spatial Precipitation (i.e. Rain on Grid)

·         Turbulence and Wind

·         RAS2025

Workshops

Workshops focus on giving students hands on experience with building and pre-processing the computational mesh, performing offline and inline 2D projects, and using the built-in feature RAS Mapper to spatially analyze results. The 5 workshops included in this class are:

·         Creating a 2D Model

·         2D Bridge Modeling

·         River Restoration

·         Dam Breach Analysis & Rain on Grid

·         Levee Breach Analysis.
